Ingredients

Pancake Mix

Pancake mix is a great base for making biscuits because it already contains essential dry ingredients like flour, leavening agents, and often a touch of sweetness. This means you can skip the step of measuring and mixing these ingredients separately, saving you time and effort. Additionally, the inclusion of buttermilk in pancake mix adds a tangy flavor and tender texture to the biscuits, making them even more delicious.

Milk

When making biscuits out of pancake mix, milk adds moisture to the dough, creating a tender and soft texture. As well as activates the leavening agents in the pancake mix, which creates a light and fluffy texture as the biscuits bake.

Butter

Brushing butter on top of the biscuits after baking creates a glossy shine, making them look more appetizing and the slight richness and buttery flavor from the brushed butter gives a more satisfying and indulgent element to each bite.

Instructions

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and pre heat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine baking mix and milk using a wooden spoon, until a rough dough forms.

On a work surface, sprinkle more pancake mix.

Transfer dough to the floured surface and knead the dough lightly about 10-12 times.

Roll out the dough to a 1/2 inch thickness.

Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and drop biscuits onto your baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven until your biscuit dough turns golden brown.

Once the biscuits are baked, brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish and a deliciously golden crust. This step adds extra flavor and moisture to the biscuits.

Place biscuits on a cooling rack.

FAQ’s for Biscuits from Pancake Mix

How to Store Biscuits

Keep your biscuits in an airtight container or zippered freezer bag, in a cool and dark place.

Can I freeze these homemade buttermilk biscuits?

Yes, you can freeze biscuit dough made from pancake mix. Shape the dough into individual biscuits, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until firm. Then transfer the frozen biscuits to a resealable bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

How to Reheat Biscuits

Place your biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment or sprayed with non stick cooking spray and heat them at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes, giving them a quarter turn half way through.

Can I use any type of pancake mix to make biscuits?

While most major pancake mix brands can be used to make biscuits, it’s best to choose a plain or buttermilk pancake mix without added flavors or mix-ins for optimal results. Our favorite is the Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix or Bisquick Pancake Mix.

Can I customize the biscuits with mix-ins or seasonings?

Absolutely! Our pancake mix biscuits offer endless versatility. Customize your biscuits by adding cheese, herbs, or even bits of crispy bacon to the dough for extra flavor and texture.

How do I achieve a flaky texture in the biscuits?

To achieve a flaky texture, it’s important not to overmix the dough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, and avoid kneading or handling the dough too much. This will help create layers in the biscuits.

Can I make the biscuit dough in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the biscuit dough in advance. Once the dough is mixed, cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, cut out of the biscuit shapes and proceed with baking.
